MPA Scrutiny on Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs)

January 2003

Summary

The MPA Scrutiny on CDRPs gives the findings and recommendations from the MPA scrutiny on the contribution the MPS makes to CDRPs and the effectiveness of this contribution across London.

The MPA decided to carry out a scrutiny in this area as members had heard differing reports of the effectiveness of CDRPs and felt the Police Authority could provide useful assistance in improving performance across London. Secondly, the 2002 Police Reform Act made police authorities ‘responsible authorities’ in CDRPs. From April 2003 police authorities will have the same role in CDRPs as the police forces and the local authorities. Hence, by conducting this work on CDRPs, the MPA also sought to establish the best means by which it could fulfil its forthcoming statutory role.

The scrutiny panel collected evidence from a wide range of individuals and organisations, using a variety of methods: postal questionnaires, face to face interviews, and hearing sessions during which individuals were invited to talk about their experience in front of the panel.

As well as listing examples of good practice made by the MPS in CDRPs, this scrutiny report makes a number of recommendations. It is difficult to assess the performance of the MPS in CDRPs in isolation from other partners, but the recommendations focus mainly on the MPS’ contribution, this being the area over which the MPA has responsibility.
